I don't agree.You don't loan a 17yr old to another club,especially a potential cauldron and 'sleeping giant' like Sunderland,unless the topic is a rare and special breed.

Mbete is still coming back from a season long injury, there's no way we'd be letting someone else manage his recovery regardless of anything else.I think Callum was loaned out because City possibly rate Mbete higher and wanted to keep him in-house. Bear in mind he was on the bench at Chelsea a couple of seasons ago. Age wise, there is nothing in it between Callum and Luke. All three are top, top quality prospects.
If City decided that one of them needed game time elsewhere then it was always going to be Doyle.

Yeah I think Callum has moved ahead of Mbete with his performances when the latter was injured last season. Both great prospects though but Callum is a year younger and already tearing it up in a high pressure situation in men’s footballI don't agree.You don't loan a 17yr old to another club,especially a potential cauldron and 'sleeping giant' like Sunderland,unless the topic is a rare and special breed.

Here is a Sunderland blog post heavily featuring CD's impact - https://rokerreport.sbnation.com/20...ell-us-about-sunderlands-performance-v-bolton
"One player ran the show for Sunderland in possession, and it was our rookie defender Callum Doyle. As you can see in the visual, big Doyler is connected to Hoffmann, Flanagan, Neil, Embleton and Cirkin.
The 17-year-old actually made 19.70% of Sunderland’s passes - that’s almost 1 in 5."
There are graphics on that blog post that reflect what I saw watching the full match replay the other day. The field tilts toward CD as they start out of the back with possession. Sunderland look to get him the ball then get open because he'll zing it to you wherever you are on the pitch. Its also interesting that his new left fb wingman is a 19yo England youth named Dennis Cirkin who is starting to impress. Cirkin played for the U20s with Mcatee vs Romania recently, to give context. Can't hurt CD's dev to have a non-lumberjack nearby in possession.

If only to play football where there is physical contact.
